Appearance: The shofar was made of horn,
either ibex or ram's horn. It had to be at least three hands long, and
could not be altered from whatever shape it was off the animal except to
ornament the outside of the bell with gold and to make the narrow end into a
mouthpiece. It could be given finger holes. |

Use: The shofar was purely a ritualistic
instrument, sounded on certain Jewish religious days. The lips of the
player were buzzed into the mouthpiece to sound the instrument. |
